The utopian society was quite interesting to read about and I was pleased with its similarities to The Giver, a book I quite enjoy as well.
The symbolism between the love triangle was obvious and questioned everything that was highlighted by the utopian society - giving up basic human feelings for perfection.
Cassia definitely undergoes a good development throughout the story too, becoming more defiant through her love for Ky and learning the truths of the Society. Ky is also a favorite character of mine, as he has more and more layers to explore that I love as the book continues.
The book was enjoyable and made me feel for their romance as it developed at a realistically and timely manner, and gave me exactly what I wanted from a YA dystopian.
